Boeing going: News jet ditched

Closing the News of the World was one thing, but now
Rupert Murdoch
is doing the unthinkable.

He’s selling the company Boeing.

Sale ads began popping up across aviation websites this month for a twin-engine Boeing 737-700, 12 years old with one careful owner (“has crew lavatory"), registration N889NC.

As chance would have it, for months now Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal has portrayed corporate jets as expensive, wasteful, abused, whereas in reality they are essential tools of modern business – as James and Rupert Murdoch demonstrated, racking up $511,000 between them on jet travel last financial year.
